Green politicians from across Europe on Friday called on U.S. Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein to withdraw from the race for the White House and endorse Democrat Kamala Harris instead.

“We are clear that Kamala Harris is the only candidate who can block Donald Trump and his anti-democratic, authoritarian policies from the White House,” Green parties from countries including Germany, France, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Ireland, Estonia, Belgium, Spain, Poland and Ukraine said in a statement, which was shared with POLITICO ahead of publication

    You sound like someone who would have questioned the need for ending segregation because it “Sounds like a [Spanish Word For Black] problem to me!”

      mmmmmm; probably would have been shot in the war fighting against it more honestly. let me know when harris can single handedly pass abortion rights on her own that the discussion can go somewhere. as I said the fastest route to protecting access is via state legislatures. hence why what 8 states have it on the ballot this year? would I prefer it federally? sure. sadly for you all my reps already support such a position and I doubt trump would block it if the bill passed. but since such a bill won’t pass congress shrug.

      Its not a compelling reason by itself to vote for harris; since you know… she can’t single handedly make it happen.

        1. She can appoint Supreme Court Justices that can re-instate Roe V. Wade

        2. Voting for Harris means voting for a blue congress assuming you voted down ballot

        3. https://www.propublica.org/article/nevaeh-crain-death-texas-abortion-ban-emtala - This woman was murdered because of people with your kind of “Not my problem attitude”

        4. You say you’d have been shot fighting against segregation, but you can only say this with hindsight having lived in a world where you were already told it was wrong. Judging by your current actions, if segregation was already the status quo you’d just say that black people should solve their own problems despite the fact that attempts for “Colored-Only Areas” as they were called back then to create a “Black Wallstreet” were met with white police officers burning down “Black Wallstreet”

          1. Incorrect, first there needs to be vacancies, know any justices retiring? Second she’d need congressional approval, so again nothing she can do herself.
          2. No you can’t make that assumption. Trivially demonstrated by literally the fact the last 40 years we’ve had what? Maybe 6 years of that scenario being true? Sometimes only months at a time.
          3. No, she was murdered by Texans in particular abbot and his ilk. Your next best person to lay blame on is biden. And i didnt want him for this exact reason he doesnt have the moral core to break rules when necessary, except apparently for a genocide. Ug. My ilk dont support such shit bags in the first place. We don’t follow the lesser evil nonsense. We supplant it. Every. Time.
          4. No I can say it pretty safely. You’re literally arguing with a person trying to prevent muslims being murdered in another country.

          Jesus havent seen someone be so wrong all month and ive been dealing with genocidal asses all year.

          My reps already support the things you’re asking for. Harris is literally the greater evil in my state because trump isnt even on the radar. Ive done all i can for you. 🤷. You at least still currently have a vote. Pray Harris’ horrible campaigning hasnt put that at risk.

          You dont like what im telling you because its hard. But if you want the things you claim to want you have to put the effort in.

          You dont get to rely on me. not because I don’t want those things for you and others, but because im not in your area to help you carry the burden and short of an armed insurgency for you my state is maxed out on the support it can offer, though we do export a lot of blue babies to other states…
